Default RE: T-6A Texan II 75-91 ARF build suggestions

Bob,
Yesterday I was in the local hobby shop and saw this ARF. My son flew this plane for three years as a USAF IP at Laughlin AFB until he switched to the F-15 three years ago. Obviously, the credit card came out even though there is no way I needed another airplane. I am leaning toward electric power also since I have not flown glo in years. I do have a new Evolution 26 available. I saw one review with a Eflight power 60 and a 6S pack which came in at 11 lbs which seems enough weight for a plane with only 647 sq in wing area and it reportedly flew well except for a tendency to tip stall at slow speeds. I would be very interested in how your build turns out. The pics are from the 2006 Hillsboro Air Show which my son flew a Texan II along with another IP from Laughlin.
